Ingredients for 4 servings

  • 350 g tagliatelle
  • 450 g chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 250 ml cooking cream
  • 80 ml pasta cooking water
  • 40 g grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh basil for garnish, optional

How to make creamy chicken tagliatelle

1. Cook the pasta

Cook the tagliatelle in salted water until al dente. Reserve about 80 ml of pasta water before draining.

2. Brown the chicken

Heat olive oil in a large pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until golden and completely cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. Make the garlic herb sauce

Lower the heat and add the garlic. Cook briefly until fragrant. Stir in the cream, Parmesan and reserved pasta water. Simmer gently until smooth, then add parsley and chives.

4. Toss and serve

Return the chicken to the pan and add the tagliatelle. Toss until everything is well coated. Serve with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for the best result

Keep the sauce over gentle heat after adding the cream. Freshly grated Parmesan melts more smoothly, while pasta water helps create a silky sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, add another small splash of water.

Easy variations

Add mushrooms, spinach or peas for extra vegetables. You can also use fettuccine or linguine instead of tagliatelle.

Conclusion

Creamy garlic herb chicken tagliatelle is an easy and satisfying pasta dinner made with simple ingredients. Save this recipe on Pinterest for your next cozy meal.
